That’s the other thing. My new computer is a Mac Studio which takes up almost no space, and uses like 10-15 watts. Because I can just turn off my gaming computer when I’m not using it I’m saving significantly more power. Like just your CPU at idle uses more than the entire Mac actually doing things.
AMDs dual CCD CPUs tend to perform worse than their single ccd models in games. You can “fix” that by running the game only on one, and push everything else to the second. But I’d much rather not deal with that. A second computer is much easier.
Plus I can fuck with computer A when computer B is still doing other things without interrupting. That alone is worth it.
Also if you’re in a game and you have a video running that taking GPU horsepower. I’m not going to have a second GPU just to avoid that.
Performance. I’m a heavy multi tasker and I want nothing to get in the way of my frame rate.
For context my old second machine was a 2018 Mac mini with an 8th Gen. i5 and 32 gigs of ram. It wasn’t enough.
I have two computers at my main desk at home. One is exclusively used for gaming, the other is used for everything else. In theory Bazzite is perfect for me.
Ok. But this this is a post in a Linux community. So one might assume it’s targeted towards Linux users.
1st Gen. Ryzen had the worst memory controller known to man. What made it worse is that memory speed dramatically affected performance on those CPUs. Anything over 2133 was a blessing.
There’s no reason why a 32 gig stick of ram should be less stable than an 8. Your ram is defective. Ask for a replacement.
Hold up. SBN3 made a game? How the hell did I not hear about this.
Apple was still selling computers with them built in in 2002.
Remember, USB drives barely existed back then, and they sucked. Floppy was all but dead. Burning a CD with your 1MB word file was the only way to move files back and forth for peasants.
Psh, casuals. I’ve been hoarding zip drives for years.
Honestly IDK how I keep getting so many of them, but they’re not very reliable so I guess I’ll keep them.
Swap would probably destroy that thing. And be unbearably slow.
I agree with the others, a rescue partition type thing is probably the best option.
I’m confused by what it’s on.
Did they spray paint some SSes and just kept the newspaper they painted it on?
Lemmy needs a garfsexual community.
That’s the fun part of chihuahuas. They’re both, like almost at the exact same time.
My Thinkpad P1’s is soldered :( At least that came with a good Intel Wireless card.
But somehow on my T14s (a much smaller machine) it wasn’t soldered.
But then on the bigger T14 it is soldered. So I have no clue what is going on at Lenovo. At least the machines with good wifi cards are soldered, and the shit ass ones are
Not all laptops have replaceable wireless cards. If you have a thinner machine they probably soldered it on. But I can’t find any rhyme or reason to what manufacturers do and don’t solder.
Those really low capacity cards have DIRE read speeds though. I wouldn’t want to cheap out too much on them.
We have one SD card at work that seemingly works fine, but has read speeds of like single digit Mbps. It’s plenty for the arcade machine it runs with no more than 10mb roms at the max. But oof is it bad.
While good for privacy, this sounds like an awful UX change for the average person. Some sort of nice toggle to disable it would be good, but removing it all together would probably annoy more people than it benefits.
You’re still using itunes and not apple music?
It’s basic
10 turn on Bluetooth
20 connect airpods
SMH my face. Kids these days.
